The Eagle Inn 3 stars

Hotel in West Beach, Santa Barbara

Located 10 minutes’ walk from Central Santa Barbara, this hotel serves daily hot breakfast with egg dishes and organic fruit. All unique guest rooms offer free Wi-Fi. Free guest parking is available. Perfectly located near the sea front and a short walk from downtown, this was possibly one of my most favourite hotels ever. There was a lovely calm atmosphere, the staff were super and everything was just perfect. The conceirge Peter (?) was exceptionally helpful. We stayed two nights on our US roadtrip over the Easter weekend and the hotel and the town were just amazing.

Motel 6-Santa Barbara, CA - Beach 3 stars

Hotel in East Beach, Santa Barbara

Located less than a minutes’ walk to the beach, this pet-friendly Santa Barbara motel offers an outdoor pool and modern guest rooms with cable TV. State Street is 5 minutes’ drive away. Very clean and updated comfortable room. Close to the ocean but far from State Street and cafés and shops. I many of the staff are finally covered when I first arrived, and they were not welcoming or friendly. There was luggage being stored, and I asked if I could store mine because I had to run to a work meeting and I would be back in the late afternoon, and they refused. Then they charged me a $20 early check-in fee and I was only there three hours early. The manager looked at me but didn’t smile and just kept talking to the staff about a training very loudly and acted as if she wasn’t happy that I was there. I felt unwelcome.
